I'm late to this post, but I really question his wrist injury and what the deal with all that was. He had some good games, but part of me wonders if he was just trying to get through this season to get a better contract. Who knows. Either way, for the production we got from him, we can probably draft a receiver and get just as good or better production. I'd take him back at a really fair price, but would rather draft a guy in round 1 or 2

Yet, for some strange reason, the Bills put up better offensive numbers after he arrived.

 

magical thinking.

 

they went 2-1 when he was in the whirlpool.

 

in his biggest game, he had 95 yards, caught only 43% of his targets..and they lost.  the rest of his season he had 14 catches.

Ex-Browns WR Amari Cooper Gets Bad News on NFL Future

 

Quote

 

Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is still searching for a new team, but skepticism is mounting across the league about his reliability as a pass-catcher.

 

Cooper, 31, is coming off a season where he split time between the Browns and Bills after being traded to Buffalo in October. He struggled to find consistency, finishing with a career-low 547 receiving yards and four touchdowns over 14 games — six with the Browns and eight with the Bills.

 

Before the season, Cooper staged a short holdout in hopes of securing a long-term extension. While he didn’t land a new deal, he did manage to negotiate a slight raise and secure $20 million in guaranteed salary.

 

Cooper had a chance to secure a nice payday if he turned in a solid season. But instead, he’s exploring his options in the second wave of free agency. And his reputation around the league appears to have taken a hit.

 

Matthew Berry of NBC Sports spoke to a coach at the NFL Combine who thinks Cooper’s best days are behind him.

 

“Amari is done,” Berry said. “That’s not me talking. That’s from an offensive coach of a former team of his I spoke to at the combine.”

 

 

Would seem to make sense that it's a Bills coach making that statement...

I previously read a different in article (which may also have been from Berry) in which it was definitively stated that it WAS a Bills staff member that said they think Cooper might be cooked.

It's not the Bills' style to do that type of thing. But Browns will be Browns.

it could be, Adam Henry was the wr coach with Cooper in Dallas in 20 & 21 and the cowboys dumped him.

 

Now he had him again and he was just a guy.

 

it would be very bad if it was a bills staff member though.  There is no need to be talking negatively to a reporter about a guy who was just on your team.  Its just lousy.  I imagine it wasn't a bills coach.

 

also when cleveland is on the clock at pick number 94 I am going to be uber pissed.  That was a terrible, terrible trade.

I read the same thing, a couple weeks back.

Amazing that you can make that judgment based on 0 information.

 

I also read a separate article that hinted that they think he might retire, not that he doesn't have the ability anymore.

Thanks, and he may well be done, but Bills brass, who I do not typically support, don't usually say things like that about players. 

[H2o]

I could see Jerry add him on the cheap after the draft. He has familiarity with Dak.

Hollins played over him.. So yeah, bad trade by Beane

[JohnBonhamRocks]

They were discussing this on WGR and I recall there being confusion on whether the writer meant “done in the NFL” or “done being a WR1”.

Correct, Berry spoke to a Bills source about Kincaid and the person said Kincaid was more injured than people realized. He asked the same person about Amari where the person said he was done.

Was he really that bad though?

 

Two fantastic deep ball catches v KC and that beautiful over the shoulder TD v the Jests showed me that he still had some gunpowder in him.

 

He battled through that wrist injury which didn't help but I thought he was pretty good.

He was the only real option due to his contract and availability. The Bills were stuck - and that was their own doing - but by mid-season he was the only viable option to try to improve the WR corps. But, yes, due to injury and/or declining skills it wound up being a bad trade. 

[Bag of Milk]

If Amari is truly done, that makes Beanes trade for him brutal.

The minions under Beanie in the pro personal department should have watched his tape extensively before any trade was considered.

Considering Beane said that he had done his due diligence before trying to trade for Antonio Brown, he clearly hadn't as Brown was a train wreck.

Also, have to say where was the due diligence when adding Vontae David and Aquan Bolden to the roster?

There are many aspects to being a GM, I think Beanie knocks it out of the park in many areas, but in others, completing due diligence and adjusting the way he evaluates defensive lineman and wide receivers he needs to make adjustments.

Otherwise his home run pick of Josh Allen will go to waste.
